Countdown Live 2002-2003 - what was wrong with Ayu?
 

Concerning CDL02~03, I read in some other threads that Ayu had the flu while she was singing. Anybody have any info on that? I feel that although her voice didn't sound so good, she sang with all her heart.

I'm sure she was down with something but I couldn't tell you exactly what with.

Im 99% she was sick, when she talks normally she sounds kinda clogged.

yes I believe she was sick during that performance. But I still liked watching it, because she still put in 100% effort, and more emtion than usual.

I must agree that when I saw performances from that CDL (Real me, Heartplace, Free & Easy, and maybe HANABI) I thought, "Why does Ayu sound... not so good?" Now that I see she was down with something, I have to give her so much credit. :)

Ayu was definitely sick. Not only in the CDL02'03, but also during some live performances (ie. independent) she almost couldn't sing. That performance was really cute because she does her best even though sometimes she just skips a line =).
Also, I believe Ayu mentioned that she was sick in either a Vivi Deji Deji-magazine or a teamayu diary or anything.

Really? Never knew that.

Me too!

ayu's voice in CDL02-03
 

Is it just me or was ayu's voice during the concert like really bad? When I heard it I was like :thud

Was she having throat problems or was it something to do with her eledged smoking?

This is kinda OT, but does Ayu smoke o.o ?

Hahaha not the smoking again...anyway, yea I've heard around ahs many times that she was pretty sick during that time. I've only seen heartplace from that performance so I'm like wooooooooo. I don't think that one was heavily edited by avex...but yea a lot of the songs on the dvd were edited my avex so you get one song where she sounds sick and another where she sounds fine because they dubbed it over.

edit: ayu1m, I didn't see your post when I posted. Go search for old threads on smoking. I think you will be quite appeased.

I remember hearing she had something like bronchitis or something to that extent...

I thought Heartplace sounded good though... I didn't think her voice was so bad... just raspier and kinda squeaky XD

no, no... her voice was really bad in 2000 concert tour o_o

^ I like the concert tour 2000. Some of the best lives I've heard

And thankes for the info guys ^_^

I though Ayu sounded fine in the concert besidres her voice was still developing

Her voice was really low and deep in ARENA TOUR 2005. It kinda turned me off. :(

I thought she sounded really bad in CDL 05-06. o__o;
You didn't like Arena Tour '05? I /loved/ her voice in that. I adore deep voices. And hate high ones. xP

But yes. She was sick at CDL 02-03.

CDL0506??? nooooooooo. She was doing super deep in that one too for some songs. But omg love destiny!!!! FINALLY everytime she redoes an oldie it sounds kickass. Like TO BE on ayuready <dies>. HEAVEN was awesome too. Endless Sorrow!! Wahhhhhhhhh

Are you talking about the TV version? I don't have it yet, I'm still slowly watching the DVD version...

I have the TV ver... and it really quite annoy me with her voice and her incapability to sing in everywhere nowhere ^^a
